Nicky just uploaded “A South Barrington Haunting” to Writerscafe.com.Β For those of you unfamiliar with this story, it’s the one in which he trespasses in a graveyard, sees nothing, gets scared anyway, and tears his flannel shirt falling off the fence when he scrams.Β I tried to go to the page at Writerscafe on which he posted “Memoir of Cuba Road,” to see if it was the same story under a different title, but that page is now blank.
I guess he’s been doing more than hanging around Vampire Freaks.Β On the other hand, it doesn’t take much effort to upload a story that’s three years old.
That is impressively incoherent.
Ain’t though?
That is Cuba Road. I recognize the line about the barrels of water.
And the fact that NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS IN IT, yet he re-releases that piece of crap every few months.
I once described it as “I came, I tresspassed, saw nothing, got scared, and left.” Of course, that description also applies to “Tales of an Abandoned Seminary.” At least there, he saw some broken dolls and dead pigeons before he got scared and skedaddled.
Okay the next time I worry my writing is worse than Nikita’s someone punch me in the balls.
Holy smoke! What the hell is that? Oh, it’s the stink of the shit Nicky left at Writerscafe.
How can this possibly be scary? Nothing happens?
He gets scared at nothing at runs.
WTF???????
Come on, Nicky. That’s fourth grade plotting.
He is the one who is literary dumber than dumb.
“Okay the next time I worry my writing is worse than Nikitaβs someone punch me in the balls.”
haha Rain, I’ve only read two sentences of your tale so far (only because I am working on my crit for Rich, right now, also) and I can tell you, while I won’t punch you in the balls, I will pinch you hard if you ever say your writing is like HWSNBN again. π
LOL! Thanks Louise!
Nicky, you’ve bored me. How I want to know. You’ve bored me in the sense of the way you were or are.
Lousie when you got your first novel out — it will be burned. Nazi cunt. You faggots go around promoting book burnings like there is no tomorrow — what if someone was to burn a book promoting faggotry, you’d go up into hell thinking it is all a hate crime. Fuck your career as a writer and fuck your career as an editor.
That is an older story you asshole.
The fact I am saving all my longer works for print exclusive publications. The very idea that burns your ass is my work is published. Louise — what have you done that is so awe inspiring these days besides write about faggots who fuck each other in the ass.
Raingods — if anyone who needs a good punch in the throat it is you. All you faggots do is nothing but piss me off — and if you don’t have anything better to do I got three stories I need to finish up and send off to a few publishers and one for Tabloid Purposes 5.
Ah, La Femme Nikita, your reading ability matches your writing ability. Nonexistent. If you reread my post you’ll see I said balls and not throat. Then again, you probably aren’t familiar with something you don’t have.
Your stories are published?
Self-publishing does not count.
Publishing your own work through your own small press company doesn’t count.
Get a real publisher, then I might be impressed. Until then, you’re just a amateur.
do i hear the squealing of a disgruntled porcine princess?
So, Nicky, it’s all right for you to burn somebody else’s book, but it’s a hate crime when someone does it to yours?
I’m sorry.. Did Nicki just say:
“That is an older story you SMURF.
The fact I am saving all my longer works for print exclusive publications. The very idea that burns your SMURF is my work is published. Louise β what have you done that is so awe inspiring these days besides write about SMURFS who fuck each other in the SMURF.
Raingods β if anyone who needs a good punch in the SMURF it is you. All you SMURFS do is nothing but piss me off β and if you donβt have anything better to do I got three stories I need to finish up and send off to a few publishers and one for Tabloid Purposes 5.”
Yeah.. I thought so.
See, I always thought burning Nicky’s books was for the public’s safety.
Don’t worry, Raingods. Nicky can only reach as high as your balls, anyway.
SO, I could teabag him without squatting…okay I just made myself sick…
What has Louise done?
Hmmm…
Let’s see, she’s only edited thirty-three books, has twenty short story/poem credits, and has a novel coming from one of THE BIGGEST small press publishing houses.
I’d say that’s a lot more than you’ve got going on, Nick.
I’ve got to be honest – this is old, Nick. These people know what they’re doing. They give good advice, and know what they are talking about.
I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt for a real long time, but to do so any longer would – even indirectly – slam people I’ve come to call friends.
Louise is one of the nicest people I’ve met online in awhile. Rusty may not think she’s much of a writer, (which I disagree with), but she knows what’s good and what’s not. Cuss doesn’t pull any punches, but to make it in the writing world, you NEED someone like that.
I could go on, but I won’t. It’s just tiresome, old, and transparent.
It is official. Nickolouse Pacthy-pwn has been declared legally boring.
Not that I mind, but when did R say she didn’t care for my writing? That is a-okay! But, if you do want off the test reader list, R., because it isn’t your thing, I will completely understand. π
Thank you, Kevin, Kody! π I appreciate the kind comments. hehe You are making me blush (I can feel my damn face flushing — hehe ).
And no comments on HWSNBN. I made Carole a promise, and I intend to honour that promise.
Okay, I have to cram in 1000 words before I call it a night.
Night, folks!
Louise
I never said any such thing, Louise. Not sure where Kevin got that idea; I’ve never read anything of yours, so how could I form an opinion one way or another? Please leave me on your list.
Louise, you’re fine with me.
Thank you, R, and sorry again for the misconception! π
Thank you very much, cuss, for — and this is a compliment — I hold you in high regards, and wish to be a snark just as good as you are when I grow up. π
I’m going to browse a bit here and call it a night folks. 1096 put into today on TBA, and, for anyone interested, I posted a new interactive writing exercise, and my contribution, to my writer blog. Hoping to make it a semi-regular thing, when I can spare a moment or two.

Take care, everyone.
Louise xox
ahhh……woops.
I meant Rusty didn’t think of herself (himself? Sorry, it seems both pronouns are used sometimes! I get confused) as a great writer, but as we’ve all seen…Pissblogger rocks. And, I was referring to R’s skill as a reader over all.
So no, I wasn’t talking about Louise’s writing and Rusty’s opinion if it at all. My bad! π
LMAO! I am a ninny! Sorry, Kevin! π
Signed,
Sleepless in New Brunswick
aka Louise π
I should have said, “Rusty doesn’t think much of her OWN writing…”
Bleah.
Lucia — wake up man, Bohmer and I have similar publishing credits. While she was stealing a friend’s company I was learning how to be a publisher from someone who ran her work.
I got nothing but respect for you, but damn man you’re denoucing your own belief systems by running with these people. She isn’t someone I need. I don’t subscribe to the LGBT end of things and that made me a criminal because they put Matt Shepard upon the cross like he’s their fucked up little messiah. I will never buy a book from a faggot.
I am not insulting you Kevin, but Christ man you need to realize those authors are going to ruin your credibility as a Christian. Louise been on a shit fit since I slammed Sangiovanni before her Leisure days and the fact I will say the reason she got her publishing deal on Leisure is because she laid on a hotel bed then spread her legs.
When I got published with a couple magazines some of them went as far to attempt to strangle the publishers as far to never see another story I wrote get published. I got credits that a little commanding in this business. I am not going to compromise anything when I do my own imprints, and the fagggot named DevilsChilde been hellbent from the gitgo.
I’ve seen one of the recent anthologies you were in Kevin (The word weavers ones,) and they need some formatting help.
Kevin — what if it was your books they torched? I think you would have a hostile attitude towards their actions too. We have to coexist because a book we’re both in is now on Amazon.com.
So, he finally admits that he finds “faggots who fuck each other in the ass” to be awe-inspiring. Good for you, Nicky.
The very idea that Nikita has the gall to tell somebody others here will make him lose credibility is hysterical! The only one who posts here with that power is you Nikita. I had Rusty and Louise do a first read on my work because I trust them implicitly.
See, unlike you Nicky, they’re pro’s in their fields and know what the hell they’re doing.
Uou however could fuck up a See J
grrr…
You however could fuck up a See Jack Run reading primer.
“youβre denoucing your own belief systems by running with these people”
Actually, no. I’m doing what Christ did – hang with everybody.
“you need to realize those authors are going to ruin your credibility as a Christian.”
What about your language, abusive threats, and abusive nature towards homosexuals and all those different from you? Not even getting into a biblical interpretation of the matter, that type of behavior is not condoned for any Christian. How many times in the Bible did Christ say, “F-ing queer?” or “snort your dead brother’s ashes?” Not to parody Tom Cruise, but Nick – you lost me at “snort your dead brother’s ashes”. That was sincerely messed up.
“she got her publishing deal on Leisure is because she laid on a hotel bed then spread her legs.”
First of all – hello? Offensive much? That’s being Christian? Secondly – and I’ve read LOTS of books – Mary S. is a fine writer. I should be considered blessed to be half as talented someday.
“Iβve seen one of the recent anthologies you were in Kevin (The word weavers ones,) and they need some formatting help.”
I’ve been on a huge learning curve for this past year on where to submit and where not to. The Word Weavers folks are fine folks, and a nice place to start. That’s all I really have to say about that.
“what if it was your books they torched?”
First of all, I’m a teacher. Pretty used to hostile opinions. Secondly, I’ve always known how tough it would to be a writer. If someone burned my book? I’d say – thanks for buying.
Nick, I’ll respond to the rest of your email privately. I’m not an insulting person. I tend not to call people names unduly. I’m not going to call you names, or deride your work. I stayed silent as long as I could, but for me NOT to say something would hurt my credibility as a Christian more than anything else.
Peace.
Nick, what you know about writing marketable fiction can be inscribed on the head of a pin while a bunch of angels play a pick up game of basketball. You sir, are no Christian. You mock and insult others, curse them freely, and even use the Lord’s name in vain.
Christ brought ONE Commandment: “Love one another as I love you.” Clearly you fail at that.
Mary S got her publishing deal by studying the craft and the genre and writing quality work. Something else you fail at. I would know, I was there for her thesis reading.
You are a wretched waste of DNA. Do not think you can call yourself a writer.
Oh no he DI’INT just insult Sangiovani?
Nu uh, he di’int.
Oh he did!
Damn Nick, insulting someone like her in the writing business is like insulting Christ or something. Mary’s in the BIG LEAGUES. I only dream of being as talented as she is. She’s up there with folks like Brian Keene and Gary Braunbeck. We should be asking if you’ve read any of her work? She draws circles around us small press writers like you wouldn’t believe.
And if Mary DID spread her legs, good for her! I mean, why should she have to restrict her movement by keeping them crossed all the time? Gosh, if I were a woman and had to keep my legs crossed all the time, I’d get pertty darn uncomfortable.
Oh, and Nick; if you’re going to insult someone who died, do it the right way. Matthew Sheppard WAS NOT tied to a cross; he was tied to a fence post.
I won’t address you directly, Mr. Pacione, for respect to my dear friend and boss, Carole, but I will say this.
What you said about Ms. SanGiovanni (sp? I am disgusted, so many make typos), is appalling and degrading and completely misoginystic. You need to learn manners, sir, but sadly, all hope of that day coming is long gone, isn’t it?
On your delusion I hate Christians, and I am so evil pagan satan worshipper who will eat Christian writer’s souls —
Fact — My mother is Anglican, I believe my boss is Catholic, and I love them both very much. My cousin is Lutheran, again I love her dearly. My ‘sisters’ are non-praticing Catholics. Get a grip on reality, sir.
My most basic ethical creed I follow: Unconditional love for all, but with wisdom applied. See? That means I love even you, Nicky, but I absolutely refuse to take in, or give out, the appalling amounts of negativity you, and some others among the LoN, will give out. It is counter-productive. I wish you well and away.
And thanks to the folks who gave me props! π
I believe her name is spelled SanGiovanni, Louise. Her name’s kind of hard to spell if you’re searching her for a first time.
Oh, and another point; Louise is one of my best online friends, so… Yeah. Take that, biyatches! π
Thank you, Kody, luv! π And you are a sweetie! :-*
